Bartram's Scrub-Hairstreak (Strymon acis)

Bartram's is a distinctive and rare hairstreak of south Florida. Bartram's is like a more elegant version of the related Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus), with broader white lines, two white dots on the hindwing, longer tails, lovely pale blue fringe when fresh. Bartram's is found in dry, sandy areas where its host plant, the Pineland or Narrow-leafed Croton (Croton linearis), grows.
